Could this be done as a pre-arranged visit? For example, you could email a target list of contacts regularly, say once a month, and ask them when it would be best for professional staff to be there (to help with any queries or support face-to-face)? Our team, when possible, approaches practice managers / ICST teams / AHP teams at different health centres to find out when their weekly / monthly meetings are and arrange to join them to provide support and advice as required. This helps us reach the community more effectively – although we find it difficult sometimes to arrange due to lack of time Tomas Muniz I Knowledge Services Officer Knowledge Services Hairmyres Hospital Library I Eaglesham Road I East Kilbride I G75 8RG t. 01355 585 488 e.

We have a small psychiatric branch library which is located some six miles from our main site. This used to be visited weekly, but this has changed to rare visits. I’m anxious to reinstate weekly or at least fortnightly visits. My question – what arguments does the group have for these visits being by one of the professional library staff rather than clerical staff? My initial arguments are the professional staff can answer high level clinical queries during their visits (though could be argued this could be done remotely), raises profile of the library and service amongst staff, local teaching opportunity rather than staff having to travel to main library for training. Anything else folks can add to bolster argument? Many thanks.
